      Nicotine is a drug. Never ever heard anyone being fired for that.

      And while it is true, there could be other rules that companies may enforce (don’t operate heavy machinery while drunk, for example), government contractors have to react simply because the drug is on the list, and the test is positive. BY LAW, even if it has zero impact or positive impact on productivity.
